Not sure of what to call it. Dropped the stop that holds the main sail up on the mast. It is a little knob with a curved piece of metal that it screws into. Have made a replacement but is not good for the long haul. Anyone know what it is called and where I might get one?

Hi,
These are called track stops. The 2000 West catalog shows them on page 533 at bottom corner. If you cut a scrap of nylon or polyethylene with two holes - one for the screw on the gadget and the other for a piece of light line you can forestall tendency of these things to jump off the boat into the water.

FWIW, I bought a spare and keep it under the boom so that the boom stays just a few inches below the slot.
